Cool. I'm glad I posted the pictures of it. Very cool car. I wish I would have talked to you, time goes by so fast at the car shows. So you live in Concord? I live right in Harrisburg.
You should bring the car to the car show at Auto Barn on Nov. 8 and the Hendrick Motorsports show on the 22nd.
Hope to see the car again soon. Look for my fathom blue, white stripe 70 SS https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

WOW very very nice and congrats on one hell of a car

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for sharing your story with us. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gifI was at the same hotel as you at Chevellabration. I was surprised to see your Z16 parked right below the balcony of our room.
After talking with you for awhile I knew you were the right guy to own this car. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif

I'd also like to see progress pics of the other Z16. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

I hung on every word of that post! GREAT HISTORY! I am glad you have this car as you sounds like you will be a good caretaker of it. I absolutely love original cars and sometimes wonder if future generations will have the opportunities to view them, like we have. Thanks for showing us.

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

Nice to see you on the site, Jeff.

As you know, I also had the pleasure of getting to know Dave M. through Chevy Vettefest, and worked with him on the Z16 Reunion we had at last years Chevy Vettefest.

I know you had planned to be a part of this, but it didn't work out. How about considering bringing it out for our next show November 22-23? We would all love to see it in person and I assure you it would be well received.

I am currently working on having another super low mile Z16 at the show, and the two side by side would make an awesome display.

Indeed, many of us will miss Dave, he was a true enthusiast and a gentleman, in addition to being incredibly knowledgible.

Wow!
Great story and pictures!
The end of this post should be moved to Members Rides.

Any pictures of it Pre-clean-up?

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

it should be against the law to "restore" cars like that

if you had 2 of the exact same cars, one "restored" and one like this one, the original will have people 3 deep stretching their necks to get a look at it while the "pretty" one will be all alone ...

Ain't that the truth!.

The car is stunning and it's great to hear it's not going to be restored..

Is Dave's site and great information he compiled gone forever?.

There is a possibility that we may be able to test this theory at the upcoming Chevy Vettefest. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/drool.gif

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

Great story and wonderful piece of history... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

Talk about a small world. Jeff the day you picked up the red chevelle from Dave M. I talked to you. I was picking up the floor pan to the 67z I had bought from Dave. I don't know if you remember but the guy that was with me kept telling your wife since you got the car she should be also getting something also. I was on your side and asked him to shut up. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif It was nice meeting you that day. I also miss Dave. Kim Howie P. S. What a great car.

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

Sooo...how about resurrecting an old post! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

I am very pleased to <span style="font-style: italic">officially announce </span>that Mr. Helms has agreed to head up our &quot;show within a show&quot; feature for the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals &quot;Class of 1965&quot; Invitational display this year.

We look forward to hosting what may be the best gathering ever of restored and unrestored 1965 Z16 Chevelles ever gathered under one roof.

If you own one of these very significant muscle cars, please let myself or Jeff know.

That thing is at the Charlotte meet all the time. Sits near the middle of the back stretch

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

I just love that car period. This is (to me) Chevrolets first muscle car and these cars were special built automobiles from the engine to the frame. As I mentioned to Jeff, when you're done with it let me know. Great car and a better owner/hobbyist. Thanks for organizing this special display....

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

I hope that car is NOT in &quot;pre-restored condition&quot;. It deserves to stay just like that for the rest of it's life.

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

It most definitely will stay maintained in its current state! There are lots of them restored (relatively speaking), but not many like this one!

Thanks - Jeff

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

Anyone see this one?

Re: Original paint Z-16 at Chevelle show
 

Jeff beautiful car great history and good luck with restoration with the other Z16 you have. I noticed you have a 1966 L78 chevelle. I have a 1966 L78 short block if you know of anyone looking for one. If so you can PM me. thanks Joe
